The Rundown Interview: 1/2 Of Island

The Journalist
After a few weeks of laziness and all that other enjoyable shit, The Journalist is back in this motherfucker. This week, we have one of the biggest names and biggest cats in the Rapmusic Battle League, Island. This kid was was moving everybody out the spotlight: Me, Shock, Serge, etc. when he started to shine in the Top 30 early on. Now, he’s a one man powerhouse destroying niccas with an exceptional record of 12-1.For the niccas not in the RBL loop, or those cats who aren’t really ill enough to know who’s who, tell them who you are..and what that record is now looking like.

The Journalist
Do you think you’ve had an easy path to get where you are, and what you have right now: RBL Gold?

UserNizzle
I don’t think the PATH was easy, i think beating a lot of you guys was a little easier for me, due to the alias...I mean I’ve tangled with my share of RBL contenders...Entrensical, Tang, You, Dough. It’s just the alias really propels you in the personals category.

The Journalist
Why would you say that??...Because people don't know who you are?

UserNizzle
Well they do NOW, but they didn't. The fact that many people KNEW it was an alias, and couldn’t pinpoint who it was exactly.I think THAT propelled the personals, they had nothing to go by.

The Journalist
A few weeks ago, when you defeated me in the #1 Contendership Match, you were under the eye of the RBL AND RM people. Do you think that was good publicity that niccas were really focused on you and your identity?

UserNizzle
Of course, but then again ever since I entered the RBL top 30 i started feeling more pressure on people trying to find out who I am...the first to really test me there, was Tang...however, you were the first to be dead on with your guess...and made it hit home with me a little harder

The Journalist
.....but still lost, lol.

UserNizzle
Yup, but due to the fact that many people didn’t get that it could possibly be user, or aloe....

The Journalist
Now, most are really interested to know..but some say that you weren’t just User, but Aloe was also the other half to Island. Is this true? If not, why would niccas say that?

UserNizzle
Oh, it’s true. It’s been me AND Aloe from the very start. I handled the early battles on my own

The Journalist
Why would you two do such a thing?UserNizzle
LOL, mostly cuz we didn’t like the comp level in the RBL, and wanted people to up their game, maybe draw more attention. Aloe and me originally were sitting there talking about DreX and how he sparked the last bit of comp before the RBL died

The Journalist
I know who Drex is, but inform the sepctators who are new to the RBL.

The Journalist
Can me and you team up to make another Island?..We wouldn't be in the dark about it, I'd call us...Mud.Fat. What do you think?..

UserNizzle
Ahahahaha....Actually there's other aliases in the works. We'd look like we were copying, man, lol.

The Journalist
Moving on...What do you have to say about your NEARLY REAL loss to Hybrid Angel? How’d that happen? Do you think you underestimated that kid?

UserNizzle
Yea...I truly underestimated Hybrid...hybrid surprised the fuck outta me, but like i said earlier...it was all in the plans with island....to make people up their game....what’s surprising is how well he came without boosting up the alias aspect, and overdoing the subject....hybrid is definitely one of the future prospects of the RBL.

The Journalist
What about your last week win over Aura & Rhymaggedeon, last week? Was it an easy win for you?

UserNizzle
To be honest I think it was, aura had a previous engagement he attended and that took away from his time to do his verse, and therefore he didn’t produce anything close to what he does every other week...Rhymeageddon tried I think...but I think he had a bit of an easier path than others....then tying with aura, when I don’t think aura tried...just boosted him in peoples eyes. I figured aura would be the biggest challenge I’ve had since Dough, turned out differently

The Journalist
Speaking of a situation with Aura..IYO, you know about the “Aura..ghostwriting” situation. Do you think he was in the wrong? Could you ever see yourself either ghosting or being ghosted for? Lol...Shit, have you already ghosted for him?

UserNizzle
First off....its the net....nobody really takes it that serious, those who do are losers. I knew about the aura situation way before it got brought up, cuz aura personally told me about it (due to me being in the tourney as well)....i thought nothing of it....ghostwriting has been a part of everything net-related for so long, that its scary people react the way they do still....personally, I HAVE ghosted for people....many times....and people have ghosted for me in several ways, and forms. Not to worry though, Island is strictly me and aloe. It’s just that sometimes shit comes up that takes precedence over the net....and you don’t have time

The Journalist
Do you think that takes away from his credibility as a good battler?

UserNizzle
Not at all...aura is a former champ...this is the one time he's had a ghostwriter...I basically just made fun of him for it, cuz the people take it as some sort of act against congress for him to get someone to write a verse for an ALIAS. Basically what he did is the same as what me and Aloe are doing now.

The Journalist
Now, you mentioned your opponent, Komm, as average. Do you think he was lucky getting to the Championship?

UserNizzle
I ain’t egotistical, but you hearing it as real...hype don’t match the skill. I think people must see something in him that I don’t. Honestly, I looked into some old battles and its like “Eh?”.

The Journalist
WHOOOOOOOOOOOA!!! Uh-Oh..Do you think he was a remote chance of getting the W?

UserNizzle
I mean there’s always a remote chance, but see I know who he is..I know the alias.

The Journalist
If you could say anything to that cat, what would you say..concerning your battle?

UserNizzle
Get your gloves on, truth. He'll get the message.

The Journalist
Man, it was dope interviewing, but I got to get back to listening to my Big L, so do you have any shout outs, fuck you's?

UserNizzle
Shout to aura and Rhyme, and my baby Aloe, that’s about it. *WINKS TO REV 9*.
